I should probably add "teeth" to my interests

Happy birthday ginzai!!! I wish you a little stalker Tim Drake of your own just for the day.:-D

I went to the dentist today to get a filling. Instead, the dentist told me I needed two. Then told me to make an appointment (3 months from now) to get the fillings. And to buy yet another rinsing thing.

I've had tooth problems all my life. This is the first dentist I've ever known who didn't fill cavities when s/he found them. The receptionists' prime directive seems to be to keep people from getting their teeth fixed as long as possible.

Note to self: Find new dentist in dental plan tomorrow. Be sure to make sure new dentist fills teeth.

I feel your pain. Oh boy, do I. I've had dental problems all my life and I really do try to take good care of my teeth, even have one of those fancy sonicare toothbrushes. I just have thin enamel, something I've inherited from my mother.

I just had to have a cracked filling replaced with a crown - a nice $700 bill (I do have dental insurance, thank god) and I had a root canal last year and various other problems: pulled teeth, bridges, filling, etc. Sometimes I think I'm putting my dentist's kids through college.

And did I mention that I have a pathological fear of dentists? Gee, I wonder why.

Yeah, I would think that you would want to have those cavities filled right away. You wouldn't want to have a root canal done on those.

A friend was telling me how dentists are having trouble because of all the breakthroughs in tooth care so they don't have a lot of the business they used to count on. I feel like this should make them treat me even better since, like you, I have just terrible teeth despite the time and money I spend on them with the electric toothbrush and the flossing and the different rinses! My one dentist used to say I was, "The girl with the teeth like butter." Funny thing is I like dentists because I've had some really good ones (that I naturally had to spend a lot of time with)...maybe that's why these guys drive me crazy.

Ugh root canal is definitely not something I want right now.
